Subject: RE: BS: old cat bowing out
Brett et al-

Joe (Jets) is apparently not doing well. I got the same e-mail message from Jerry Blodgett:

"Joe Theriault is not doing very well. He was in Clover Manor Care Facility in Auburn and has been recently moved to Central Maine Medical Center - room 479.
Joe is well known at the Side Door Coffeehouse and other local venues. He is sometimes seen with his accordian playing as a street musician in Portland. He is an excellent performer, real character, and all around good human being.

I don't believe that his condition is very good, but I'm sure he would appreciate your thoughts, prayers, and best wishes."

I'll see if I can find out more details tomorrow and see if a visit would be welcome.

Joe is also a fine storyteller. I'm especially fond of his stories of serving in the merchant marine in World War 2.
